Hi there! I have the following construction in my program: 
[% IF user.login == Coordinator1 || user.login == Coordinator2 %]
<br>
<Table class=table>
   <tr class="[% loop.parity %]">
    <td class=title_td colspan=6>Coordinator overview:</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <td class=title_td>Date</td>
    [% FOREACH AdminData IN AdminValues %]
       <td class=title_td>[% AdminData.RealName %]</td>
       [% i = loop.count %]
       [% n = i %]
    [% END %]
   </tr>
   [% FOREACH Time IN AdminTime %]
      <tr class="[% loop.parity %]">
         <td class=title_td>[% Time.Day %]</td>
     [% FOREACH AdminDate IN AdminEndDate %]
        <td class=var_td>[% AdminDate.AppEnd %]</td>
        [% LAST IF loop.count == i %]
        [% i = i + n%]
   [% END %]
     </tr>
[% END %]
</Table>
[% END %]

As you can see, there is some template-toolkit script inbetween. What I would like to achieve, is to break the third foreach loop after the first 5 iterations, then start again AFTER the first five for the next five iterations, then break again and start AFTER the first 10 iterations. Is that possible in Perl? I have no idea how else I could achieve the output I need. The problem is this - the values are read from a database table. This table lists users and their anticipated deadlines for a project. These deadlines are saved once a day for each user, in order to see over time, how a user rates himself. Say I have 5 users for a project. Every day, I save these 5 users to the database, together with todays date and 5 different deadlines. I only need todays date ONCE, but all 5 deadlines. That's the output I'm trying to get in the above code sample. I extract the values of the users into a hash and output these in the first foreach loop. Then I select the saved days and output them in the second foreach loop, creating a new row for each day. Then, I want to output the deadlines as columns in each row. I hope I was able to describe what I'm aiming to achieve - sorry for not being clearer, english isn't my mothertongue :-( Cheers Fred
